It's been nearly four years since Def Jux rapper Cage (a.k.a Chris Palko) released Hell's Winter in 2005 and bowled over audiences and critics alike with his loved or hated (but never ignored) rhymes. After a long and loyal wait, Cage fans can look forward to the highly anticipated followup LP, Depart From Me, set for release June 30th on Definitive Jux Records.

In the meantime, here's some Cage news you can already taste - this weekend Cage will be shooting a new music video for Depart From Me in Los Angeles and has invited L.A.-based Cage fans to become part of the experience. Here's the word straight from Def Jux:
